The iOS 10 beta is tempting but it’s not for everyone. Early software isn’t perfect and the iOS 10 beta is riddled with issues.

Today we want to touch on the current state of iOS 10 beta problems for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and provide you with the most important information you need to know as we push toward the final iOS 10 release.

This roundup includes a look at fixes for iOS 10 beta problems, places to find feedback about your specific update, how to downgrade to iOS 9.3.4 or iOS 9.3.5, and a whole lot more. We’ll continue to update this with new details as they become available.

iOS 10 Beta Problems

Before you download the iOS 10 beta, know that there are tons of problems plaguing the early version of Apple’s next operating system.

We’ve been using the iOS 10 beta for several weeks now and we’ve endured a number of headaches. Bluetooth is finicky, apps (including Pokémon Go) crash with regularity, and we’ve encountered performance issues.

This is why we recommend taking a few steps to prepare yourself, and your device, for the iOS 10 beta should you choose to download it. A little preparation will go a long way toward preventing problems on your iPhone or iPad or both.

If you’re interested in download ing the iOS 10 beta, make sure to keep an eye on problems. This is particularly important if you’re moving from an older version of iOS and/or using an older device like the iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2.

Where to Find Feedback About iOS 10 Beta

If you’re thinking about download ing the iOS 10 beta, we recommend digging into feedback about your device’s update before making the move.

We’ve put together a list of reasons why you should, and shouldn’t, download the iOS 10 beta right now. If you’re on the fence, take a look. The potential for problems is just part of it.

If you need more than that, you’ll want to take a look on YouTube, Apple’s developer discussion forums, and the MacRumors forums.

If you’re looking for information about a specific version of the iOS 10 beta, YouTube videos are a great resource.

We’ve also seen critical feedback about every single version of the iOS 10 beta emerge on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.

How to Fix iOS 10 Beta Problems

If you’re on the iOS 10 beta and you’re dealing with problems, you’ll need to be proactive because the timing, and change logs, of Apple’s beta updates are unpredictable.

If you encounter abnormal battery drain, broken Wi-Fi, busted Bluetooth, or another problem on the iOS 10 beta, take a look at our list of fixes for common iOS 9 problems. They should work for iOS 10 beta problems as well.

If you can’t find a fix there, head over to Apple’s iOS 10 beta discussion forums. There are a number of knowledgeable users over there that can, and will, help you diagnose and fix your problem.

I understand that iOS 10 is still in beta, but I would really appreciate if it would stop crashing my phone @AppleSupport

It appears that Apple’s Support account on Twitter is helping some iOS 10 beta users so that’s another option if you’re unable to track down a fix on your own.

Finally, if you’re using the iOS 10 beta and Facebook Messenger, you’ll want to download the latest update from Facebook.

The current update has a fix for an issue that blocked your top most conversation from view. With this update installed, you’re now able to see that conversation.

You Can Downgrade to iOS 9.3.4 or iOS 9.3.5

If you download iOS 10 beta and can’t handle the number of problems on board, know that you can drop back down to the iOS 9.3.4 update or the iOS 9.3.5 update. Nothing older than that though.

The iOS 9.3.4 loophole will probably only be open for a few more days. Apple typically closes the downgrade path to older updates one to two weeks after it releases new software.

If you’re interested in moving back from iOS 10 beta to iOS 9, our walkthrough will guide you through the process.

How to Report iOS 10 Beta Problems

If you decide to download the iOS 10 beta you’ll want to report problems to Apple. This will help the company improve the final product.

To do that, you’ll want to head to Apple’s Bug Reporter. You don’t need a developer account to login. You just need an Apple ID.

Once you login select New > iOS > and fill out the form to relay your iOS 10 beta problem to Apple and its engineers.

4 Reasons Not to Install iOS 10 Beta & 5 Reasons You Should

Install iOS 10 Beta if You Want New Emoji

1 / 9

Apple’s iOS 10 update is set to deliver over 100 new emoji characters to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch this fall. You can get them right now thanks to the iOS 10 beta.

The iOS 10 beta 4 brought a ton of new and redesigned emoji characters to iOS. The biggest change are the expanded gender options.

For instance, you can now select a female policewoman. This character doesn’t exist if you’re using emoji on iOS 9. There’s also a female swimmer.

There are also new male emojis. For example, you can now select a male massage emoji or a male haircut emoji.

These are all part of an update to Unicode though there are still a number of emojis missing in the iOS 10 beta. It’s not clear if Apple will add those at a later date.

One other quick note about these emojis. If you like the pistol emoji, you might not want to install the iOS 10 beta.

The iOS 10 beta does away with the pistol emoji and replaces it with a green water gun. The change will be permanent once the iOS 10 update arrives this fall.
